Would you say my religion and social life saved me?

Both my mom and I had the same health issue, I had it at 14 and she has it now, but I had minimal side effects that I reversed with training and effort while she has been greatly impacted by her health issues. I believe that God’s love protected me from many potential side effects I could have gotten from my health issue but my mother has not been religious in around 30 years or so and she is also older meaning her body is not growing as fast as mine was.

Not sure what was affecting you, no need to share private information. It's reasonable to say that the same health issue can affect two people differently. You say you both got it at different ages, so its my guess. I'm not religious so I'll say there may be more too it and leave it at that

As a highly religious person, I think that argument is flawed. You didn’t indicate what religion but in Christianity that would be called “prosperity gospel” and it isn’t biblical.

No, I wouldn't.
